Human Nature Projects is looking to share some of your work to raise awareness about the wildlife conservation issues at hand. We will create a short motivational video expressing the need for a new ‘Human Nature’ which involves connection with (not exploitation of) the natural world and promotes prosperity across all of Earth’s lifeforms. To do this, we need your help…

Social Media & The Environment

Social Media & The Environment

Social media is a platform for each person of the world to discuss different issues and as well explain their own ideas and share the staff that they think it worth it to share. But yet lots of people even now don’t know what social media is and what is the difference between mass media and social media? So social media are computer tools that allow us to share or exchange ideas, information, emotions, memories and even more with each other through a particular network. Through this paper, I will focus on the positive aspect of social media in environmental awareness and education.

Species Spotlight: DeciCentiMillipede

 “Some people come by the name of genius in the same way that certain insects come by the name of centipede -- not because they have a hundred feet, but because most people can't count above 14.”

What is the air-speed velocity on an unladen swallow?

What is the air-speed velocity on an unladen swallow?

Well, the most obvious answer- you might think- is “An African or European swallow?” But this is, indeed, where film culture begins to diverge from real life. Because in actual fact, none of the 47 swallow species found on the continent directly bears its name. We might consider the West African swallow, or the South African Cave swallow, however a choice between these two would be completely arbitrary- and neither is sufficiently studied to provide the data we need…

Revisiting an old chapter in the story of human-animal conflict

“Emus are little more than feathered stomachs borne on mighty legs and ruled by a tiny brain. If an emu wants one of your sandwiches, he will get it, and then run away.
He cannot help you with your sudoku.”

An Open Letter to Conservation

An Open Letter to Conservation

To the people who act for life,

You know we are all connected to the Earth. Yet few of us act for it. And those who do, do so alone. This needs to change.

On 15th March, 150,000 students across my home country, Australia, chose to follow the example of a single Swedish girl the same age as myself and strike against our widespread inaction against climate change. After decades of denial, popular pressure for environmentally sustainable policies is mounting at a rate never before seen. This is overwhelmingly positive news… and yet it is not enough.

Human Nature: The Beginning

Human Nature: The Beginning

It’s no myth.

Modern people just don’t get nature. Scientists can speak all they want about ‘nature deficit disorder’ and other mumbo-jumbo, but at the heart of it, it really is simple. We just don’t believe that we need nature anymore.

The very act of naming it, of categorizing it, separates us. First Nations people speak of life as a whole, one single, cohesive unit without parallel. Why don’t we?
